Many celebrities celebrated the fact the Democrats have regained control of the House of Representatives from President Donald Trump’s Republican Party in the midterm elections, powered by a suburban revolt that has threatened what’s left of the Trump’s governing agenda.

The new Democratic House majority will end Republican dominance in Washington for the final two years of Trump’s first term with major questions looming about health care, immigration and government spending.

Singer John Legend wrote, “Flipping the house despite all the gerrymandering was no small feat. Despite it being expected by the polls, this is still a BFD. The House has so much power to hold the president accountable. I look forward to some real oversight.”

Democrats flipped the house w/ historic wins by women + people of color, some slashing decades-long red strongholds. And 1.4 million formerly incarcerated people have regained the right to vote. Despite gerrymandering + suppression. Something powerful has happened. Believe that.

WE FLIPPED THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! Thank you black people and gay people and Hispanic people and Muslim people and all other minorities and non-terrible white people who feel unheard!!! We’ve been heard! We also made major progress in Texas and Florida. This is just the beginning!!!

Great night, but to my home state of FL, you turned your backs on the students of Parkland, you turned your back on those who offered hope and you elected two men who literally do not believe in climate change which is essentially like signing your state’s death sentence. Why?
